As I see it, it's not radio, it's anti radio, and is absolutely murdering 
ham radio. I'll either be actually on the air, or doing something else but I 
didn't work so hard to get my license to use the computer to make my 
contacts for me because I'm too lazy to setup a station and work for the 
contacts. I had a simplex link up for a while but it was a couple statements 
I heard on it that made me wake up and realize just how bad echolink is 
hurting things and it was then that I pulled it down for good. I suppose if 
a sponsoring group wants it on 1 of my repeaters, I may consider it but I 
won't be using it and probably won't put it on at all.
